Dear Dr. Smith,
More than half of the school year is over. My son is in second grade and is having a bad school year. He comes home in the afternoon and is very unhappy. He gets yelled at all the time, has recess taken away, and sits on the "bad" chair a lot. I have had two conferences with his teacher. She told me that he has "inappropriate" behaviors in the classroom. I asked for examples. She said, "He yells out answers before I call on him." Also, she says that he talks too much and challenges her authority by correcting her at times.
